Question

How to define the target population better and more precisely?

Problem description

The interventions of the mobile crisis team may vary a lot and may cover a broad range. Where do we draw the line? The importance of a well-defined target group is strongly emphasized: "what do we want do, for whom?".   It is important to describe the limits, and not including every referral to the caseload

Impact - effect

Unclear delineation will overwhelm the team, and probably we will miss the target population supposed to be served by the 2a-team

To do

To do: asking the following question can already provide a first indication: "if the crisis team does not interfere, is this patient than most likely on his way to an admission?" If the answer to this question is yes, you may see this as a strong indication for an intervention by the mobile crisis team. It is very important to collect basic data on any initiative to better definitions or delineations
